Old Threads...are they out there...somewhere??

[CurlyQfromLI]

Does anyone know if all our old threads are out there somewhere?
Are they accessible / retrievable??? Just wondering?

Good question, but I don't know the answer. There is a chance they are gone.

Good question. would hate to think that all of those great topics and posts are GONE. Like "ask jimmym" for example. I had the best laughs and the most fun visiting that thread.
Hey, maybe we should ask jimmym..."Where have all the old threads gone..."

I believe it can be done if the old forum database or backups exist. New forum system is phpBB3 but I don't know old one. If the old one is phpBB2 or vBulletin, it's easy to migrate to new one. phpBB3 team has several converters.

You can try this link-

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://poconut.com

It says info is available from 2002-2008, but the archiving is spotty at best. I don't think I could read any posts before 2005, though it did show the home page from the old days.

I did enjoy reading the Sundot saga again....and people were bi*tching about Poco vs Eagles 5 years ago....

It would be nice to go back & read reviews of past shows (especially events like The Stagecoach Reunion in the desert, or the 40th Anniversary at Wildwood Springs Lodge, etc.).

Thanks for the kind words, but I'm not worthy!
